4.0 out of 5 stars On the road to greatness, June 21, 2003

Lori's cd is a beautiful debut and many of the songs are outstanding (hardly speaking a word, paying the price, and swallows me whole in particular.) I do have to say, though, that Lori's voice takes a bit of getting used to. Though she's from Boston she has a very folksy, almost country twang. Once you accept this, you will notice that her voice is wonderfully suited for what she writes (small wonder) and the style of her music. Though not every song on this cd is a standout, it's a very promising debut and I'm eager to see how Lori progresses. The good songs on this album are so wonderful I think this album is worth buying and I enjoy listening to it all the way through.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, April 30, 2004

I love the music on this CD. I find myself playing it over and over. If I have my MP3 player on random, I always stop to listen (and sing) whenever one of these songs comes on. I first heard her on NPR, and I have loved every song from her I've heard. Her voice takes some getting used to, but the songs grow on you the more you hear them. Paper Wings and Halo and Would you Love Me Then are two of my favorites.

i was already a fan of lori mckenna when i saw her on oprah with faith hill. personally, i think lori's version (the original) of the song 'fireflies' is waaaay better than faith's rendition. i also like lori's voice better - sorry to any faith fans! mckenna's voice has a folksy, fluttering sound that draws you in - her voice catches and your heart feels that ole pull. her songs are so breathtakingly real and down-to-earth, yet they are lyrical and poetic at the same time.

beautiful work!
